Excellent experience. We purchased the senior 8 day first class rail pass and it was so convinient. We travelled to Inverness via Cambridge, York etc and had the best experience. With the pass we travelled easily through the stations even Heathrow express and the staff were so helpful. I would highly recommend a rail pass.

Before I purchased my Britrail Pass, I wrote my itinerary down and, using the National Rail app, the prices for point-to-point tickets. It ended up being almost the same for me to purchase the Britrail Pass as it would have been to purchase point-to-point, so I went ahead and bought it, and am so glad I did. It made travel so much easier by not having to find a ticket machine every time I needed to get on the train. I also added side trips to my vacation that I may not have otherwise gone on because of transportation expense, because I had this pass. All train personnel were friendly and recognized the pass when presented. Finding out that the Gatwick Express was an added benefit! Highly recommend, would definitely purchase again and again, especially if there are a couple of longer journeys in your plans.

we were 3 seniors from Ascot to Whitby return. Our connection to Middlesboro was interrupted by outside influences, so the rail line sent us to Whitby by Taxi as the train would not wait. The train to Whitby is an end of line run so could have waited for several passengers. The taxi arrived at the Whitby station before the train! The return trip on a weekend included a bus for part of the trip but was perfectly timed. The connection times between trains is often very tight for slow seniors.The purchase of a Britrail pass is convenient for tourists and economical.

Thank goodness you have such nice employees.mThe people employed on the train were upbeat and cheerful under somewhat difficult circumstances. I think the snack bar should be kept on the train from the South West to London. The one server (on the am train from Plymouth to Reading on Feb 24th) was overwhelmed by customers when the announcement was made that the snack bar was going to be removed. People lined up into the First class which seemed to upset those travellers a lot too. Keep the snack bars going: it will stop some complainers if they can have a cup of tea. Keep your staff...treat them well.

This is by far the best and easiest way to travel around the UK. Get on any train at any time and there is not fussing around with tickets or worrying about getting to the trains for certain times. I have used this pass 3 times now and there is no going back! An absolute MUST-HAVE for your travel!

Visiting in winter and having no experience driving in snow or black ice we were not looking forward to driving in a rental car. We were also warned that roads are narrow, parking is hard to get and that congestion causes longer travel times and that Australian's ideas to drive long distances in a day were fantasy. Navigating and sightseeing can be challenging too. Then I found out about the Britrail pass. Brilliant! We travelled for 3 weeks and took 28 trains using our pass including the Heathrow express. I would recommended the pass to anyone but especially travellers holidaying in winter or for the first time.

We had three people with eight day consecutive first class passes. We found it to be totally worth it. Travel is easy and first class on the main lines is a quite excellent value with the pass. We would never buy first with point-to-point tickets. We did the math and discovered that our journey (Aberdeen to St Ives and back again) would have cost £1600. Our pass was $360. Totally worth it. Seat and berth reservations were easy once we arrived in Britain with the help of friendly ticket office staff along the way. They’re happy to help, but just make sure to get your free reservations in a couple days ahead, though some operators do allow same-day now. We invested in a paper European Rail Timetable ahead of our trip, which was very useful, but the National Rail Enquiries website is also good for checking train times. Our journey was flawless. Our pass gave us marvelous flexibility and we left as convinced as ever that the railway is the very best way to get to know Britain’s people and landscape. We would get another pass in an instant.

All good, staff were helpful. One train was cancelled but cant do much about that. Recommended for travel in the UK. The only drawback is that without significant planning one does not get to those quaint villages that would otherwise be seen by car
